Bottle from Seoul Plaza. Aroma overpasteurized, dull washing cloth, raw grainy. Clear golden colour, moderately sized head, quickly disappearing. Taste could be worst, honestly. It is dull, empty, neutral, which is probably a good thing. Some washing cloth, some grainy notes, almost malty. Very lightly astringent finish. If forced to go for a Japanese macro, I would rather reach for Asahi Black.

Copenhagen 28/9 2014. 50 cl can from Irma. Pours clear and light yellow with big white head which settles as 0,5 centimetres lacing. Aroma is a bit sour but rather unremarkable. Medium carbonation. Taste is very watery - a bit grainy and very little bitterness. Does not get in the way if you drink it with your sushi - but does not do anything for you either. Except quench your thirst.

Perhaps this is not a special, micro-brewed, fancy so-and-so drink. I get that. But for what it is, which is an affordable lager (commonly found at sushi joints) that comes in a snazzy can, it’s pretty good! Definitely a very carbonated, light drink with a wheat-ish kind of taste. It’s a cheap, easy beer that I’d recommend to anybody who isn’t overtly snobby. A definite win!
